How to make a resin painting
I've always been interested in experimenting with different mediums to create something different, something that hasn't been done a million times before. This has always been a challenge for me, but one I enjoy facing. Last year I started experimenting with polymer resin. I now realize that others are interested in this medium as well. Check out Stephen Filla's paintings at http://stephenfilla.com/ One day last summer I went down to the local Home Depot and picked up a .25" thick piece of MDF board (Medium Density Board) that was 24x24" (I like square format) and a gallon of epoxy resin. I then hurried home to start my new painting. First, I took out my oil paints and put a layer of color directly on the MDF board. I decided to let that first layer of color dry (this first layer was an abstract painting made up of two colors). After that first layer was dry, I started a painting on top of it using acrylic and oil paints. This is when I decided that I would pour the epoxy resin directly on top of the 2nd layer while it was still wet. I took my painting outside and propped it up on some 2x4's (I also put some cardboard down underneath). I then poured about 20 oz. of epoxy resin into a plastic container and added the hardner (this usually comes w/ the resin) then mixed it up using a paint stick. *Note, Resin is very toxic! Wear gloves and a respirator when around this stuff. Now comes the fun! I poured the resin on top of the painting, covering every inch of her. Cool things start to happen at this point. The wet paint mixes with resin which creates a look of depth. The paint/resin mixture swirls and drips off the sides of your board creating a beautiful mess. At this point you can just let 'er dry (you must let this dry in a super-well ventilated area). I recommend letting it dry in the garage as long as you don't have pets that hang out there for extended periods of time. |
